GAME:75 Los Angeles Lakers (33-41) VS Milwaukee Bucks (40-35) - LOSS - 33-42

Randle better watch the tape replay because he made some major dumb ass moves..

[Landsberger]

Gotta love Kuz' mamba mentality, but like Kobe did time and time again, his tendency to go for the hero play was really a dumb move there. You're at home and Giannis has 5 fouls.....you gotta drive it in there with 6 seconds left.

I'll take that shot over the 3 missed FT's by Ingram and the horrible TO by Randle that put Kuzma in that position.

[Slink]

No focus. Everyone already thinking about their summer plans.

oh def.....like I said earlier, those ingram missed free throws were the difference between an amazing comeback win and another one of our many "almost" games this season.

4 come to mind right off the top, all went to OT...2 against the Warriors, 1 against the Rockets and this game.

Nah....we just have a young inexperienced team that doesn't have the ideal level of composure yet. The team looked very engaged today...if anything, this team is surprisingly competitive from a mental perspective at this stage of the year.



It helps when the majority of the team is either playing for a contract or young and hungry, but still....

[Spens1]

that was solid but a lack of focus killed us.

We did look a lot better, still though, you're rarely winning when one of theirs goes for 40.

There where some boneheaded plays (Randle's Turnover).

Growing pains. But I don't know really what to say, im tired of being sick and tired when it comes to free throws. I think we have used up all of our outbursts and rants when it comes to freethrows. It's been killin us from the beginning of the season. Just bizzare at this point. We're almost left to wishing that it gets fixed.

Let's just go after everyone who shoots 80% from the line that will solve all our problems, don't care if they can't do anything else, as long as they can shoot from the FT LOL

[The Skyhook]

Fell asleep at half time. Looks like I missed one hell of a come back. I wish this team was able to stay healthy

That's too cynical, the shortened rotation and injuries crates a lot of fatigue for players who've been logging heavy minutes.

I'm happy with how we made the push with Caruso and Zu, not coincidentally the two freshest players to suit up.

[Slava]

I'd have liked for us to go after Marshon Brooks or even bring back Vander Blue to close out the season. With IT out, we are really down a scorer.

[Spanish_Laker]

Good effort, it's difficult to beat a team which is fighting for their lives to grab the 8th seed and when you have such a depleted team. On to the next one, let's see if we can finish the season with a positive balance at home (currently 19-17)

Kuzma is special. This guy would be the team's leading scorer for sure.

[bobbeaver]

Lakers lost because they didnt respect the hot hand. Caruso zubac duo should have finished the game. They dismanteled the bucks. Offensively and defensively. Luka is to rigide n stubborn to understand its not about what is said modern bball should be, but what works. Sixers have a classic big and r killing it. Bucks are very weak against a classic big. Golden State have big issues with quality more classic bigs. You just need to know how to play em. Caruso does. Look what happened. You need to have it atleast as an important option.

[Landsberger]

Kuzma is special. This guy would be the team's leading scorer for sure.

If he was given the focus of the offense like Ingram and Randle get he'd be that already. He's been getting 15 to 25 often while going 4 and 5 minute stretches without touching the ball. 21.1, 9.2 and 2.7 over his last 10 games in 33.6 minutes. Shooting 48% overall and 38% from 3.

Rarely do we do a focused set for him and he's still the 3rd scorer for us. I hope he survives the summer however I get the feeling he might not be back. His production vs cost is the perfect storm to get rid of Deng unfortunately. Looking 2 years down the road I think he'll be a more valuable player overall than Ingram.

[LAKESHOW]

Kuzma has some Dawg in him. He is aggressive. Demands for the ball. And looks to take the shot unafraid of consequences. That's the type of player we have been accustomed to as Laker fans.

[Dloading99]

Brandon Ingram can't go down with every injury. the concusion is unfornanate. it just seems like he always runs into guys. and the dude is kind of fragile. you just hope for him that he is able to get back on the court and play. and stay on the court.

but looking at Magic. this guy is probably done for the season.
